1)The Dream Warriors … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists known as Dream Warriors:
1)The Dream Warriors are King Lou and Capital Q (aka The Quiet Storm), a pair of Toronto, Canada-based alternative rappers.
2) A metal band from Honduras.
1) They formed in 1988 and released the jazz rap LP And Now, the Legacy Begins in 1991, which was critically acclaimed and sold well in Canada and the United Kingdom. The album spawned the hit single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", which featured a prominent sample of Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones which originally appeared on his 1962 LP Big Band Bossa Nova and was also the theme music to the Canadian game show Definition.
The 1994 follow-up, Subliminal Simulation, received mixed reviews, and has since been forgotten by some and named a cult favourite by others; it featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Guru and DJ Premier contributed to two different versions of the song called "I've Lost My Ignorance (and Don't Know Where To Find It").
Their most recent album, 1997's The Master Plan, was poorly received and did not sell well, but they made an appearance in 1999 for The Herbaliser on the track "Road of Many Signs."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ah yeah, Dream Warriors
as we enter the brink of reality
battlfield
trust me seven times seven times
but you prefer not to
here I go into a lifelong trip
come solider
Verse 1:
ringin' on into his disorder
I serve the square
so step there's nothing left you can't compare
to the noble unbeatable length of hair that I bare
so bare witness I'm physically fittin' this
a desease so MC's please take a techna shot
you got what I give I never get got
glue to the gift so what's up dread
you couldn't bob to the bass but now you're hooked like a bass head
I'm about to show ya contract and attract ya
blow off track come back and smack ya
loaded lyrics stronger than a game of tug-o-war
Dream Warriors are built right cause I got a megabyte of storage
so don't tempt me I'm empty
don't get too close I might absorb your energy
if you're not a friend of me I grow you like cannibus
make you give me a hand you can't handle this
crazy rampagous makin' team ages
walk through the getto with getto blasters playin' us
general entrance be part of the solution
you take it to your brain but your brain is confused
and confusion is the style that I send
don't think it makes your mind bend
just journey on
Chorus:
draw your mics men
and wipe the sweat from your dome
as we enter this battle with a fearsome rage
universal peace must be this outcome
dust and strife stricken
we have moral to the full
board your steeds my minions as we path on
tray me I slay the no mutiny
Verse 2:
take a picture of this
you trying to dis
so much smoke you get choked from the microphone mist
aw shucks you're outta lucks
yo try to tax but get waxed
the song strong enough to carry you
and my rhymes strong enough to bury you
but I don't I make you jam until the jam is done
until the cash is cahsed unto me the nickelodeon
like that snap ??? back the style has hung you
buy a noose produce who
now this is the part
mystics prevail
the critics wrong song goes up in a sail
the legacy begins check the store
you want more then tie up your boots and just journey on
pankgooes and scallowags vanish
MCs who talk about me vanish
when I'm on stage I'm kicking harder than a tidal wave
I'm making bootys like you memory save
cause when I entre pronto en delay
I hear on the dispatch
(mayday mayday)
an S.O.S. for a new bag of sess
and kick and shook you into nothing less
proceed on
Verse 3:
on your 12th daydream you try your best to control it
but the magic avoids you the stage is a street
and the wink of an eye you could fry in agony of defeat
now toothles ruthless and raw
looking for a way to get even but you withdraw
cause with no label you're disabled and handicapped
but you pledge allegiance to the life of battle rap
no choice now you must face your own fate
no straight path so is life nothing is straight
maybe one day you'll wake up and realize
you the live by the sword you die by the sword
surprise Dream Warrirors possesses intelligance
but you cry wolf but that's irrelivant
no what you must be now is simply
sit back and rock in your own inequity
city's the limit from when you finish your song
now you journey too but what you really must do is journey on
Outro:
we must change
we must change

make you give me a hand you can't handle this
I'll force you to assist me, overwhelming you with my skills
crazy rampagous makin' team ages
I'm causing chaos and destruction, making a name for myself
walk through the getto with getto blasters playin' us
We confidently move through the streets, playing our music loudly
general entrance be part of the solution
We have an important role to play, contributing to the resolution
you take it to your brain but your brain is confused
You try to understand, but you're overwhelmed and confused

Get ready to move forward, my faithful followers
tray me I slay the no mutiny
Challenge me and I'll defeat any rebellion or resistance
take a picture of this
Remember this moment, capture it in your memory
you trying to dis
You attempt to criticize or undermine
so much smoke you get choked from the microphone mist
Your words lack substance, causing confusion and frustration
aw shucks you're outta lucks
You're in a bad situation, luck is not on your side
yo try to tax but get waxed
You try to compete, but you're easily defeated
the song strong enough to carry you
Our music is powerful and can lift you up
and my rhymes strong enough to bury you
My lyrics are so strong, they can overpower and defeat you
but I don't I make you jam until the jam is done
But I won't defeat you, instead I'll make you enjoy the music until the end
until the cash is cahsed unto me the nickelodeon
Until the money comes my way, I'll keep entertaining
like that snap ??? back the style has hung you
Just like a sudden snapback, my style surprises and overwhelms you
buy a noose produce who
You try to bring me down, but you only end up hurting yourself
now this is the part
Now comes the crucial moment
mystics prevail
The mysterious and powerful forces are in control
the critics wrong song goes up in a sail
The critics are proven wrong, their negativity is blown away
the legacy begins check the store
Our legacy starts, explore our history and achievements
you want more then tie up your boots and just journey on
If you crave more, prepare yourself and continue moving forward
pankgooes and scallowags vanish
Troublemakers and disrespectful individuals disappear
MCs who talk about me vanish
Rappers who try to slander me disappear
when I'm on stage I'm kicking harder than a tidal wave
When I perform, my energy and impact are unstoppable
I'm making bootys like you memory save
I'm creating a memorable experience for you to cherish
cause when I entre pronto en delay
Because when I begin, there's no stopping me
I hear on the dispatch
I receive a message or call
(mayday mayday)
Emergency signal, indicating a problem
an S.O.S. for a new bag of sess
A desperate call for a supply of drugs
and kick and shook you into nothing less
I'll shake you up and show you your true worthlessness
proceed on
Keep going, don't stop
on your 12th daydream you try your best to control it
In your fantasy, you struggle to have control over your desires
but the magic avoids you the stage is a street
But the enchantment eludes you, the stage feels cold and unwelcoming
and the wink of an eye you could fry in agony of defeat
In an instant, you can experience a painful and crushing defeat
now toothles ruthless and raw
Now you feel vulnerable, merciless, and exposed
looking for a way to get even but you withdraw
Seeking revenge, but ultimately giving up
cause with no label you're disabled and handicapped
Without support or recognition, you're restricted and hindered
but you pledge allegiance to the life of battle rap
But you remain loyal to the rap battle lifestyle
no choice now you must face your own fate
There's no escaping it, you must confront your destiny
no straight path so is life nothing is straight
Life is unpredictable, there are no easy or straightforward paths
maybe one day you'll wake up and realize
Perhaps one day, you'll have an awakening and understand
you the live by the sword you die by the sword
If you embrace a violent and risky lifestyle, you will face its consequences
surprise Dream Warrirors possesses intelligance
But here's a surprise, Dream Warriors have intelligence and sharpness
but you cry wolf but that's irrelivent
But you make false claims or complaints, but it doesn't matter
no what you must be now is simply
What you need to be now is just
sit back and rock in your own inequity
Reflect on your own flaws and shortcomings
city's the limit from when you finish your song
The possibilities are endless once you complete your journey
now you journey too but what you really must do is journey on
Now you embark on your own journey, and what matters is to keep moving forward
we must change
We need to change our ways and evolve
we must change
We must adapt and transform
we must change
Change is necessary for growth and progress

Samples:
"Papa Was Too" by Joe Tex (1966) (Drums)

There's something that baffles me with this tune: Maceo & the Macks' "Soul Power '74" (1974) which is not on the Who Sampled website for the track. Can someone help?
